THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING

THE EBS MULTIDRIVE - STUDIO EDITION PEDAL!

The EBS MultiDrive is an ultra compact and robust box, capable of

producing sustain, overdrive and many other useful hot, ”tubeamp”,

distorted sounds. The overdrive engine that makes this all possible

is a simulation circuit in pure class A with a wide gain range, which

emulates a classic vintage style preamp tube. The EBS MultiDrive’s

high quality makes this pedal a perfect choice for the recording

environment, as well as live playing.

We hope you’ll enjoy using your EBS MultiDrive pedal.

THE CONTROLS

Set to ACTIVE position if you are playing an

active instrument or if you have the pedal

connected to an effects loop. If not, set this

switch to PASSIVE.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS SWITCH IS SET

CORRECTLY FOR PROPERLY FUNCTION.

DRIVE controls the amount of gain/distortion

for the ”overdrive engine”. The range is from

0 dB (clean sound) up to 60 dB in maximum

position (very distorted sound).

VOLUME Controls the output volume when the

pedal is active. You can also use this control

to boost your sound.

TUBESIM activates the second tube simulator,

which adds extra harmonics with added

compression and slightly less high end attack.

STANDARD (STD) - This mode selects the standard

operation for the pedal. It bypasses the low

end for excellent bass response.

FLAT - This position selects linear gain

across the entire audio spectrum. Useful for

distorting bass sound and should be used

with fairly low Drive setting for best result.

This mode also produces some fuzz-like

sounds when used with high Drive.

FOOT SWITCH Switches the pedal on or off.

POWER OPTIONS

DC POWER ADAPTOR For environmental reasons,

we recommend the use of a DC Power

Supply, such as the EBS AD-9+. The EBS

MultiDrive Studio Edition handles 9-12

V DC, and require a 2.1 mm pin center

negative type of connector.

BATTERY This pedal can run on battery (not

included). To place a battery in the pedal

follow these steps.

1) Remove the four screws holding

the bottom plate.

2) Carefully remove the bottom plate.

3) Place a 9V alkaline type; 6LR61 in

the battery holder.

4) Gently place back the bottom plate.

Attach the four mounting screws using

moderate tension.

HOW TO SET THE SOUND - USEFUL HINTS

In order to obtain best possible operation from the EBS MultiDrive,

check the hints below on how to improve and find your own personal

sound.

1) If you have an active instrument, try switching to the passive

mode. This will increase the gain in the distortion circuit to its’

maximum. This allows for tighter high compressed sounds and is

a way to use the MultiDrive as a pure distortion pedal.

2) As in point 1 above, switch to active mode even if you are using

a passive instrument. This will not give you as much gain, but

sometimes when using the pedal to spice up your sound instead

of distorting, you may find the gain range more detailed. You

need to use fairly low settings on the volume knob to keep a

good balance between the bypassed level and the active level.

3) Try using the MultiDrive pedal as one of the first pedals in your

effects chain. This is because the gain stage will amplify every

small noise from other pedals being used before the MultiDrive.

4) The MultiDrive is excellent for use in an effects loop. In this setup

you can use the pedal as a post-filter enhancement stage. It

could be a good choice to make your solid state amplifier sound

like a full tube amp.

SAMPLE SOUND SETTINGS

The following examples below show a few of the many sonic

possibilities of the EBS MultiDrive.

STANDARD OVERDRIVE

This is an example of a standard overdrive

setting with a good clean edgy sound

together with untouched low end for better

definition. Use high setting for Drive and

compensate the level with the Volume.

TIGHT DISTORTION

This is the fullrange distortion mode, useful for

affecting the overall sound. This mode gives

less low end with harder compression and

gives the possibility to create fuzz-like sound

when tweaking the Drive. Use a moderate

setting for Drive for normal operation.

SMOOTH TUBE SOUND

The tubesim mode activates the second tube

simulator giving higher compression, less

attack and tube-like sounds. This position

is useful for edging up your sound while

obtaining the warmth and body of the

classical vintage tubes.
